Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased Lock On Modern Air Combat Gold
and only installed the first disc,
since I had so much trouble with Starforce
from another game I previously loaded and uninstalled.
GTI Racing or some such.

Anyway, I already updated with the latest patch but,
the game will not start and never has.
I get the sounds of starting and then an error report is generated.

I'm running Windows XP Media Center on an Asus Striker Extreme MB
with an Intel 6750 Core 2 Duo and 2 Gigs of ram.
The video card is also an Asus product EN8800GTS 640.
Using a 42" DLP Samsung TV as a monitor
with a max resolution of 1280x720.

I also have all the latest drivers installed for all the hardware.

I have been searching and reading all day and have found nothing that helps.

I really don't care about the add-on extras of disc two but,
would like to play LOMAC as I've read it is a very good flight simulator.

Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,

When you say "latest patch", you do mean patch v1.02, right? Hope you dont mean v1.12b as that is a patch for Flaming Cliffs (the 2nd CD).

Do you even get as far as the startup screen that allows you to go to OPTIONS etc?

V1.02 is what I have installed.

No options screen of any kind.
Just the jet sounds, radio chatter and I assume missle growl.
Oh, the little box with the program name comes up on the menu bar but,
clicking it does nothing but change it from raised to sunken looking.

Then I'm stumped Mate. No PC expert myself, but your system looks more than good enough to run it.
Not many folks visit here nowadays, so maybe try posting again at lockon.ru english forum, link below

Thanks then at least for the kind words.

I posted yesterday or the day before over on the ru site.

Still waiting on support there to give it a thought.

Yes, the machine doesn't quite but nearly pegs the high end
when on running a requirements site test.

I'm thinking it's going back to TV's refresh rates
since I'm having problems with a couple of other games too...
...but others that should push it harder run just fine.

I knew I had stayed away from simming for too long.

Again, Thanks.

Solved...

After much searching and reading, I uninstalled and reinstalled the 1st disc and V1.02 patch.

Then I went nosing around in the configuration files.

I went into the graphics configuration file and changed all the resolution settings to 1280x720
and once the game launched I reset the resolution lower under options so the screen wasn't distorted...

Now maybe I'll get some stick time in.

Thanks for listening.

Glad to hear you got going.
